"This game has so many standout moments of such immersive power, there really is no other experience out there to touch Modern Warfare 2’s controlled and entertaining pandemonium. Infinty Ward has skill, panache and big, hanging balls that clang as loud as Big Ben, so much so a the bar has been raised with Modern Warfare 2." ... Read full review

"Modern Warfare 2 ticks all of the right boxes: varied gameplay, immersive story, engaging gunplay, superb multiplayer, and the list goes on... If we're being really nitpicky, then we might suggest that there aren't many innovative features in the game. However, MW2's Spec Ops mode is fresh enough to ensure that the overall package isn't a stale one, while the long-term appeal of adversarial multiplayer will stretch out until the next Infinity Ward release with ease." ...

My Gamer
"The single player stages are much too linear, the co-op missions are reused from the single player campaign, and the main multiplayer deathmatch style modes are very unbalanced, especially for new players. But like Uncharted 2, MW2 is like an insane action packed movie that you can participate in… too bad the game’s heavy use of scripted events make the player feel like they have do not have any control regarding the out come of the final experience." ...

Activision's Modern Warfare 2 sets the new standard for FPS multiplayer. Its looks great, sounds greats, and plays spectacularly. ReasonableActivision's Modern Warfare 2 sets the new standard for FPS multiplayer. Its looks great, sounds greats, and plays spectacularly. Reasonable balance and fascinating map design keep the multiplayer mode something players can come back to again and again and again to this day. Modern Warfare 2 also revolutionized killstreak design, just one of numerous gameplay mechanics it improved on from its predecessor.
The campaign is, again, improved from Modern Warfare. It looks great, and some missions even attempt an open-world-esque aesthetic with large open environments that force you to traverse from building to building, defending objectives from enemies that attack from land and air. Again, the campaign has great visual and sound design, and gameplay is varied enough to keep the player entertained. Story is told fairly well, with the most intense climax of any military shooter to date.
Special Ops, Infinity Ward's answer to the Zombie mode of Word at War, is a standard mission mode. It can only be played with 2 people, something that prevents it from being as silly and "rompy" as zombies. This mode is enjoyable, but nothing more,… Expand

The single player is short but intense. I would rather have a good short single player with a robust multi-player. The MP aspect of the game The single player is short but intense. I would rather have a good short single player with a robust multi-player. The MP aspect of the game is absolutely mind blowing. It takes everything that was good about the first one and adds to it. I'm sure there are balancing issues that people will complain about but I haven't found any at this point. Spec ops is a ton of fun with a friend. Not too fun single player. This is easily a 10 just based on the value that I will get out of this. Anyone giving lower than an 8 is just a fanboy of Halo, KZ2, UC2, etc. This is a great game that will keep me playing for months and months.… Expand

The campaign was ok, nothinglook the first modernwarfare game was innovative and an excellent game but modernwarfare 2 was a dissipointing. The campaign was ok, nothing was bad about it but it had been all done before. The new perks were a small positive which was blown out of proportion by fanboys as only stealth perks can be used and if you didn't snipe you were an 3p1cn00b... oh god why? Noscoping quickscoping JUST STOP IT. Montage after montage on quickscoping aargh. The fact that is has call of duty slapped infront of its title brought it huge revenue and drew players from other games. these players then when they had had their 19th game in a row where they were 0-19 and raging at everybody for using assault rifles and small machine guns, they would then migrate to another game and spread the 'snipe or you los' cancer. Look the game is an alrounder alright game. To sum it up the campaign was nothign new but didn't suck and the multiplayer was barable. Im happy to take up any argument you have with my comment, my xbox live is boxylyric oh and i think i have an unpositive kill death ratio but its not like the mw2 community cares about the type of thing right?… Expand

Full of bugs, graphics in this game are like it was relased in 2004! Textures of weapons are like made by stupid yeti. Everyone compares it to Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Why, I am asking? If I would compare both of them, I'd say: Bad Company has the destruction, physics, maps are 10x bigger, you need to use brain when you are playing. I don't see any positive arguments to buy this game. You can just borrow it from your friend. And I don't know, why the reviewers gave 100 to this game! Oh, sorry! Not a game, a piece of **** Ok, so now I'm going to say good things about this game: when you kill a person in multiplayer, you feel badass, killstreaks are good point and weapon customization. Think about, before you buy this game...… Expand
